Sekondi (Western Region) — The Fund Management Unit of the Social Investment Fund (SIF) has approved projects in five communities in the Shama-Ahanta East Metropolis for funding.
Mr Asare Mintah, SIF sub-project officer for the Metropolis and the Mpohor Wassa East District, said this at a three-day capacity building seminar for 35 members of sub-project management committees (SPMC) of the five communities in Sekondi, on Monday.
He said the projects would cost 900 million cedis. Mr Mintah said the projects were a three-unit classroom block for the Effia Methodist JSS, three-unit community day care centre at Kansaworodo and a three-unit day care centre at Nkroful.
The rest are a four-unit classroom block for the Ketan Catholic Primary School and a six-unit school block for the Salvation Army Primary School at Bakaano. Mr Mintah urged members of the committees to ensure that contractors with good record were engaged on the projects.
He said the members have a great responsibility in ensuring that the community got value for the money spent. Mr Mintah called on the communities to be involved in all stages of the projects and to make plans for their maintenance.
